Shut the fug up seriously. This is Panthers only. If it isn't stats, articles, trades, cuts, acquisitions or a topic regarding the Panthers then I don't give a fug.

You're also dangerously close to replacing fug as my most hated member.

I love you

If you are talking NCAA top 40 defenses, the answer is one.

Yup - look @ the level of competition regarding the games he lost last year, too.

I have nothing against RG3 except that he looks like a crack baby and he wears socks purchased on the women's wing of express. With that being said he has NOBODY in the backfield, a HC who is running out of time in the NFL, and an offensive line that may get him killed by week 9.

A lot on his plate. He would have been better off in Seattle, Cleveland, or maybe Dallas. I wish him well.

To some extent, RGIII's attention or whatever you want to call it has a bit to do with Cam's and Dalton's success as rookies with no real off season but I disagree that RG3 wouldn't get attention or be heavily scrutinized if Cam bombed.

However, RG3 showed a lot more passing ability than Cam did in college. Of course there are reasons for that like systems and conference but the point of the matter is that coming out of college RG3 looks a much better passer than Cam.

RG3 won the Heisman, he beat out Luck, who many say is the best QB prospect since probably Elway. He had a socks thing that people strangely liked. He had no NCAA problems, brought a small school into the limelight and by all accounts is a really good guy. Add that with ESPN's thirst to beat a story to death for ratings and he was drafted by Washington, who traded a ton for him.

So even w/o Cam, RG3 would get tons of attentions. Yes, he is probably scrutinized a bit less because of Cam but it isn't anything significant.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
